They're threatening. Do your thing, Nate

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 5, 2013 -> 10:20 PM) Don't like the Beckham at bat. But he's had a lotta hits this year. He made some nice contact, just got under it too much/wrong part of the ballpark. I like him hitting it hard up the middle.

Time to throw Reed out there?

Jones looks much more confident with the slider so far than last year. Always felt like some grand experiment out there last year.

That looked good.

Sucks waiting 4 games for Dayan to turn the corner

Okay, I officially think every ball hit in the air to the pull side is a home run.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 5, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) It might have been the shortest, most compact swing he's had in a Sox jersey. I think he's trying to take more compact hacks. The swing on the single earlier was more contact oriented as well.

Damn!!!

Shows you how big the Keppinger at bat was.

That works, Kep! Hope you remember how to hit soon, though

Much better ADA!

de Aza just shot something massive out of his nose

Set all of this up with his own defense. Irritating.

I can see how that would be hard to understand at the ballpark, but I liked that little video

I really do like the shopping experience of a Blockbuster type video rental store, but it is true that you never feel so nice when you have to return the s***

More facebook fun posted above. I KNOW not all conservatives are like this, but damn some of the hot garbage that my conservative friends and relatives post on facebook makes me fearful for what is happening out there. I'm convinced that whatever liberal garbage that exists is not as bad as this. QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 5, 2013 -> 08:49 AM) There are a lot of misconceptions about Social Security out there, and repeated enough over time, they've become accepted facts. And they'll bang this drum until they convince every last young voter that Social Security will be gone before they're eligible for it. It won't be long now, as soon as the boomers step aside, they'll have convinced every young idiot out there that social security needs drastic reforms, and that you should trust them with these reforms since the alternative is never collecting anyway. And that's how they'll get their hands on that money. It's not insolvent, and won't be for many many years, over which that insolvency can be fixed quite easily. The problem is, they don't want to fix it, because they want to be able to invest that money the same way they "invested" the pensions. I know, I'm crazy. An academic I really respect was telling me all this doom and gloom stuff about SS and Medicare and I took it at face value for a while. Obviously, there is some doom and gloom to Medicare I suppose -- at least there is an argument. I just remember the first time I decided to go look at exactly how SS works and why it is that someone might say it is increasing the deficit or might disappear and I was really just flabbergasted that somebody would come to that conclusion. You might say you don't like the government providing that service, but you can't say it harms the deficit or that it should go insolvent in the near future or ever.

I hope Giancarlo can get going, he's on my fantasy team. Screw RBIs, just hit more homers bro!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 11:01 AM) lol, what balance do you speak of? worse than it is Also, this effects more than just football. Basketball clearly has more competitive balance and also generates revenue that players "deserve." Unrelated, here's this: ESPN overplaying "synthetic marijuana" story?

Dear lord was that close, but why are you running a play to give Brook Lopez a 3?

That missed free throw may come back to haunt us
